It is with great sadness...

with great sadness we announce his passing. During "RJ's" time with the station he has produced a Jazz show which was extremely informative and professional,
he has helped raise the stations profile through jazz festivals, and has even helped the station through its more turbulent times. "RJ" will be sadly missed.
